Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

The shortest distance from Fushan to Zhaoyuan is to go straight to Jimo, then pass through Guchengji, enter Laiyang, and then go north to Zhaoyuan.The journey is first north, then west, and then north again. It has to pass through a big market town and two county towns. After arriving in Zhaoyuan County, it goes to Jinchi Ridge and other Kuangling Mountains. The whole journey is close to [-] miles.

After Li Zhuoran received the military order, he led a platoon of subordinates, all of whom rode alone and in armor.After running for two days, I finally saw Zhaoyuan County in the evening of the second day.

Along the way, everyone looked dusty and dusty. In Fushan's sphere of influence, especially around Jiaozhou, the roads had either been rebuilt or widened and consolidated.After leaving Laizhou Prefecture and arriving in Laiyang, the roads are barren and dilapidated. Laiyang is dilapidated. Although it is densely populated, it is not the boundary of wealth and business travelers. The roads have been in disrepair for a long time, and some places can only accommodate Two or three rides passed by, and the high-lying areas were uneven, so the cavalry team had to slow down. There were also hilly and mountainous areas, and even very rough road sections. The overall traffic situation was very bad.

This is the case in this year. Except for the cities along the Grand Canal, which connects the north and the south, and some avenues between the provincial capital and the prefectural capital, it is not impossible for the roads between counties to be difficult or even impassable.

From Laiyang to Zhaoyuan, there are more mountains and more difficult roads along the way, but luckily we arrived. [

Li Zhuoran also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Guang was only about five miles away from Zhaoyuan County. He was usually serious and would not show any joyful expression at this time, but the frown between his brows relaxed a little.

"Let's shoot outside the city." He ordered, and while asking people to loosen the horse's girth to feed the horse, he sent a few people in casual clothes to buy some dry food in the city, and hired a guide or two to come over.

Naturally, there is no need for a guide to drive along the official road, but they are not locals from Zhaoyuan, and there are so many mineral veins here, there are dozens of them casually. The most famous one is the Jinchi Ridge Mine, which was also opened by the imperial court back then. It was just abandoned early on.The current situation is not clear for Yangliu, so it is much easier to find a local as a guide.

For a while, everyone unloaded the stomach and loosened the horse's girth. There was a small river not far away, so they simply took the horse down the river to wash it. Wash off the dust on your body.

Many pedestrians passed by along the way, rushing back to the city before the city gate was closed after dark, or rushing out of the city to go home. When they saw this group of soldiers, the passers-by all looked like they were marching.

How can you usually see such a man with such vigor and vigor?

Speaking of which, Laiyang and Dengzhou are much closer than Fushan, and Fushan's influence extends to Huangxian County in the northwest of Zhaoyuan, because that is the key point to control the two prefectures of Denglai, and the appeasement in the southwest is not included in the real business scope .

Dengzhou still has nine battalions of water battalion and land defense battalion. There are nine thousand soldiers on the books, but in fact there are five to six thousand people. Of course, most of them are old and weak. There are more people in this city than The Dengzhou battalion soldiers, who are not smart beggars, saw the appearance of Li Zhuoran and other Fushan soldiers, and the residents near the city were very surprised.

"I have seen the general."

After a while, a few people who entered the city came out of the city, and a guide followed him on a pony horse. When he saw a group of military masters, he immediately grimaced.
